Fit For Golf

In this episode of the Fit For Golf Podcast I am joined by Brad Schoenfeld, PhD. When it comes to information on resistance training and nutrition for improving body composition, Brad's content is something I have sought out for over 15 years.Brad is a professor of exercise science at Lehman College in the Bronx, New York, where he serves as the graduate director of the Human Performance and Fitness program. Brad has published more than 300 peer-reviewed scientific papers on various exercise and sports nutrition-related topics. He is the author of the outstanding book, "Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy”. I have read this book and have gone back on many occasions for refreshers on specific topics. I highly recommend it. Brad was also previously the Sports Nutritionist for the New Jersey Devils hockey organization. IG: @bradschoenfeldphdX: @bradschoenfeldBook: https://www.amazon.com/Science-Development-Muscle-Hypertrophy-Schoenfeld/dp/1492597678A reminder that Fit For Golf 2.0, the new Fit For Golf App is up and running. There is a 7 day free trial with all subscriptions, and you can get 20% off subscriptions with the code FFGPOD.

The conversation also delves into golf swing mechanics, the importance of eccentric training for strength, and the future of training and rehabilitation. Additionally, Fredrik emphasizes the value of investing in quality training equipment that enhances athletic performance.

In this episode I am talking with world renowned golf Biomechanics expert, Dr Kwon. Dr Kwon has published dozens of peer reviewed golf biomechanics research papers. He also has an extremely impressive biomechanics system called Kwon 3D. In his lab he assesses golfers swings using dual force plates, 3D motion tracking, and high speed camera. With this data Dr Kwon can provide coaching direction towards the players. Dr Kwon has worked with hundreds of golfers of all ability levels. In this episode we dig into the biomechanics of club head speed, and how you can train it. Fit For Golf has a brand new custom made app called Fit For Golf 2.0 If you haven’t checked it out, you can find out more by going to fitforgolf.app If you want to try the app you can get 50% off your first month with the code FFGPOD.

In this episode I am delighted to be joined by Martin Bingisser. Martin is very well known in strength and conditioning and track and field circles. He is a former world class hammer thrower, is now a very highly respected hammer throwing coach, and works with a variety of sports in strength and conditioning. There are many parallels between developing the ability to throw far and swing fast and the goal of this episode was to learn as much from Martin as we could!

Dr Mike Grevlos, a professor of Psychology, talks about the misconceptions in golf psychology, the benefits of meditation for golfers, age-related changes in neuroplasticity, and the significance of focus during practice. They also discuss working with athletes, the accuracy of wearable technology, applying meditation to golf, understanding motivational vulnerabilities, the nature versus nurture debate, and optimizing practice sessions for effective learning.

Greg Grosicki, Ph.D., CEP,  is an Associate Professor in the Department of Health Sciences and Kinesiology and Director of the Exercise Physiology Laboratory in Georgia Southern University. Follow him on Twitter and Instagram: @DrGregGrosickiGreg is extremely interested in how we can alter lifestyle to  positively influence physical capacity as we age. He is also a high level endurance athlete, having completed Ironman Hawaii in 9 hours and 22 mins.I first came across his work reading a research paper he was the lead author on that investigated the effects of aging on slow and fast twitch muscle fiber mass, strength, and power. In this interview we dig into what he found, and how you can implement this information to age more athletically. If you are interested in a high level of physical function into later years for both golf and life, this is one you will enjoy. Just a reminder before we get started that Fit For Golf has it’s own app with programs to suit all levels of golf and fitness.

After a 5 month break, the Fit For Golf Podcast is back, and I hope to bring you more frequent episodes. In today’s episode I talk with Greg Lehman, who is a trained chiropractor, physical therapist, and strength and conditioning coach. Greg is a very keen golfer and has also done some of his research studies in golf. We talk about the differences and similarities between chiros and physios, common misunderstandings, good vs bad practice, and things to look out for with a practitioner if you are looking for one. We also delve into whether swing mechanics can predict the likelihood of injury, the science of stretching, and why most things touted as improving recovery really don’t do much.Just before we get started I want to let everyone know of a promotion that is currently running on the Fit For Golf App. You can try the app for $1 for 1 month by using the discount code TRYFFG.

He works for Driveline, a baseball performance training organisation taking the baseball world by storm, and was recently hired by the Boston Red Sox to be their director of hitting and program design. I was very curious to Pick Jason’s brain about the assessment and training of baseball hitters trying to increase swing and see if there was things we could transfer to golf.
